Twenty years ago, the AFL became a true national league when the Brisbane Lions won the 2001 AFL Premiership.

The 2001 Lions would go on to be ranked as one of the greatest in VFL/AFL history and lift the profile of the entire sport in Queensland.

Dynasties is the story of the Brisbane Lions as told by three of the most influential personalities of the era: Leigh Matthews, Jonathan Brown and Jason Akermanis.

The interviews in this special three-part series are extended versions of interviews that feature in Dynasties - available now at AFL on Demand.
